Stories Brought By Spanish Prisoners Who Escaped. T"hs Natives Are la Distress sad Are Try ing t Secure rood aad Awuianitlon From Maalla American l'rleoasrs Ara Well Treated Two More Regiments ol Volunteer Star Horn Front Manila, MANILA, Sept. 4. Many Spanish prisoners are escaping from the FlMpI nos and bringing Into the American lints stories of hard treatment. They agree that the Filipinos are exceeding ly thort of rations and that a large sec tion of their troops Is reduced to the use of homemade black powder. The natives are trying every achems to get food and munitions from Manila. Dally arrests are made for attempts to smuggle contraband of war through the American lines. In one case a cas- cop, with a cargo of bamboo pules was overhauled and the poles were found full of rice. The Insurgents have a wholesome re spect for the British, on account of sev eral threats of British warships to bom bard their towns unless the tights of urltlsh subjects are respected. The British vessels, the Lacson and the Nero, were driven by stress of weather into the harDor of Dagupan, the northern terminus of the Dagupan railway. The crowd were imprisoned but on their protesting that they were British subjects the Insurgent author! ties permitted one man, Edwards, to come to Manila, promising to release the crew of the Lacson if Edwards se cured from the British consul at Ma nila a statement establishing the na tionallty of the crew. A similar con cession was made to the crew of the Nero. Edwards says he saw several Ameri can prisoners, who were better fed than the Spaniards or the Filipino soldiers. Moreover, they were not compelled to work, as the Spanish prisoners are. A force of native police has begun to patrol the city of Manila, co-operating with the provost guard, whose lack of knowledge of the language and the re sorts of native criminals had given many opportunities for burglaries, an Industry which has been flourishing of late. The new force includes many members of the old force, and some In surgents who have grown tired of fighting. It has already done good work In running down native crimi nals. The American secret service recently found a Filipino spy in Calamba. He Is supposed to have been the man who stole four guns belonging to the Wash ington regiment. He offered desperate resistance to the soldier who was sent to capture him and tried to run away with two revolver shots In the head. Finally he was brought down by a rifle bullet In the hip. He died after Jump ing from the stretcher and trying to run. General Bates, It Is expected, will establish posts at Zamboanga and In the Islands of Tamtanl, Jolo and Bon gao.

The war department has received two dis patches from General Otis at Manila. The first read: "Railway to Angeles completed In four days. Insurgents north opened on the place with shrapnel, which failed to explode; no casualties. Kansas and Washington regiments are being loaded on transports. To battalions of the Nineteenth Infantry have been sent to relieve the Tennesaees at Ho Ilo and Cebu. The latter, with the low as, are the only remaining volunteer regiment which will sail soon." At the war department It is said that with the leaving of the Tenuessees and Iowa regiments all the volunteers will have left th Philippines; also all the men of the regular army discharged under General Order 40. The second dispatch reads as follows: "The graves of the deceased mem bers of the Tpnth Pennsylvania were decorated Sept. 1 with fitting ceremo nies conducted by Chaplain Pierce. Chaplain Sutherland, a personal friend of Colonel Hawkins, delivered an ad dress." DEWEY'S LAST LANDING. TU Olympln Will Mart From Gibraltar On September 11. GIBRALTAR, Sept 5. The United states cruiser Olymnia. with Admiral Dewey on board, arrived here and fired the usual salute In honor of the gar rison, and the compliment was re turned by the batteries on shore and the British battleship Devastation.

REVIEW OF TRADE. tredett's Wly Rspert aa tke Con dition af Hasinas. NEW YORK, Sept 2. Bradstrsets ays: With an exceptionally heavy business already booked for the lat ter portion of the year the mercantile community faces the trade situation with confidence, testified to by very generally firm prices and with quo tations In a number of lines showing further marked advances. The most conspicuous exception to this is found In cereals, which art weak and declln. Ing. Lower prices for wheat, corn and oats point to speculative liquidation of tired holders, who, with confidence In the future of prices, have weakened under unsatisfactory foreign demand, larger receipts and the near approach of expected heavier crop movements. Corn crop prospeots, though less rosy, still point to a full yield. Cotton, too, has weakened slightly, chiefly because of advices of rains at the South, though Texas crop advices are still unsatisfactory, and stories of perma nent damage are forthcoming. With these exceptions, most staples are either firmly held or evince decided progress upward, notable In this lat ter respect being iron and steel of all kinds, but particularly pig Iron, which now is the center of trade Interest, owing to heavy demand, particularly for foundry grades, at advancing prices. Trade reports would seem to Indicate that a good part of the pro ductive capacity of the country Is al ready engaged for the first half of 1900. August witnessed a general gain In the prices of cotton and woolen goods, evidently the outcome of active demand, Judging from reports from leading cities. Scarcity of material and backward deliveries of same are reported by clothing manufacturers at many points north, west and south. Discussion of the proposed consolidation of Fall River mill Interests has been less marked this week, but there Is confid ence in some circles that something of the sort will ultimately transpire. Among other textiles strength Is spec ially notable In hemp in sympathy with London, wtence come reports that Philippine shipments will shortly cease. Increased strength has been Imparted to hides and leather this week by the launching of the new upper leather combination. Boot and shoe manu facturers are actively employed, but the margin of profit is reported to be exceedingly small, owing to keen com petition, and this, among other reasons, may be responsible for the rumors of a great combination of shoe manufact urers, projected. Lumber retains all Its old activity and In some lines manifests new strength as regards prices. The refined sugar war apparently still continues, one result being the stimulation of consumption to a notable extent. Busines failures for the last week are the smallest report for a long time, numbering only 131 as compared with 154 last week, 164 In this week a year ago, 198 In 1887, 336 In 1886 and 184 In 1S93. GIGANTIC STRIKE. Drltlih Seamen aad teenier Flramen Ktnp Work at Many Place. LONDON, Aug. 5.

The Johannes burg correspondent of The Dally Mall who paints a gloomy and pitiable pic ture of the conditions of things there says: "It Is almost a case of wholesale exo dus and panic. Business is paralyzed: the price of food stuffs are rapidly ris ing; half the houses are empty, and the others are tenanted by people wh( do not pay rent, the landlords being glad enough to have them as occupant In order to Insure some sort of protec tion to the property.

All the special dispatches to the London morning papers from South Af rica Indicate that the correspondents have got the Impression that the re ply of the Transvaal government to Mr. Chamberlain's latest note will be an impertinent rejection of the suggest ed conference at Cape Town and a threat to withdraw the five-year fran chise offer. A special dispatch from Johannesburg says It is understood the charge against Mr. Pakeman, editor of the Transvaal Leader, who was arrested on Saturday, will be reduced from sedi tion to contravention of the press laws. Mr. Hoskin, the proprietor of the Transvaal Leader, Is chairman of the Outlander council and president of the Johannesburg chamber of commerce. War I'rarlloallv Certain. LONDON, Sept. 2.

Every Boer Is now armed with a Mauser and has a hundred rounde of ammunition, strictly for future use, with 40 rounds for practice.
